Can you think of any player who would win the "Player whose name sounds like a place stodgy Englishmen play polo" competition over Austin Meadows?

Roemon Fields?

One of the big reasons people gave in opposition to the use of PEDs are the long-term health consequences and how it wasn't fair to essentially force people to risk their health in order to keep up.

It's now been >20 years since widespread use of steroids was known to have happened. Have there been any ex-ballplayers we know of who've suffered grievous harm to their long-term health after years of using these drugs?

Dan Szymborski

It's hard to say but we haven't really seen anything yet, but I think you need an actual study

It's not like players tpyically parade around their illnesses.

whenever the chat isn't talking about Mitch Keller, someone should be asking "Why aren't we talking about Mitch Keller?"

Re: laptop recommendations. Go buy a refurbished one off Amazon or something. If you don't need super gaming specs, you can get all the RAM and hard drive you need for < $400.

does puig make sense for StL?

Dan Szymborski

12:25

Not really.

The biggest problem with Puig is that he's not very good.

The Cards have not very good.

I enjoy having breakfast in bed. I like waking up to the smell of bacon, sue me. And since I don't have a butler, I have to do it myself. So, most nights before I go to bed, I will lay six strips of bacon out on my George Foreman Grill. Then I go to sleep. When I wake up, I plug in the grill, I go back to sleep again. Then I wake up to the smell of crackling bacon. It is delicious, it's good for me. It's the perfect way to start the day. Today I got up, I stepped onto the grill and it clamped down on my foot... that's it. I don't see what's so hard to believe about that.

According to the International Chili Society, beans can be in any type of chili other than "traditional red chili," in which beans and pasta are not allowed. Doesn't this show that chili can have beans?

Dan Szymborski

12:27

the international chili society uses it extra-national approach to keep from being sent to jail for being wrong

Are you in favor of expansion? If so, what cities do you think make the most sense?
